Before that you didn't ask any of those 6 friends about the NS? and what is the chance of having at least 1 friend going to there?

QUOTE

Conscripts exhibiting promising leadership capabilities are promoted to rank-holders during the early course of the training. These rank-holders are entrusted with military officer-like responsibilities and authorizations throughout the remaining course of the training. The ranking system however differs slightly among camps throughout the country according to each camp commandant. Among the ranks available are: * Chief: Leader of all conscripts in camp. * Deputy Chief: Assistant to the Chief, usually 2-3 per camp. * Company Commander (CC): Also known as Squad IC (In-Command), leader of a company. Usually 1 per gender for each company. * Assistant Company Commander (ACC): Also known as Company Sergeant, assistant to the CC. Usually 1-2 to each CC. Other ranks (varies from camp to camp, not all camps have the following officers): * Public Relations Officer: Normally one for each camp. * Religious Affairs Officer: Normally one for every major religion in the camp. * Quarter Master: Normally one for each camp. * Sports and Recreation Officer: Normally one for each camp. * Dorm Administrator: One for each dorm. * Logistics Personnel: One for each camp, as liaison between conscripts and the camp logistics department.

w995? should be oklast time i brought my old k800i went to NS and only a few of them brought the expensive phone(iphone, BB, 5800 etc)camera should be okmy friend brought his DSLR but the camera always stick with himso i think u just bring a DC should be enough, and dont borrow it to people(u dont know what will happen to ur camera)football jersey? is it roundneck? u can bring but i think u only can use it in certain activities(peformances), for roll call, they might ask u guys to wear a collar shirtbut i not really recommend u to bring those branded thingy, because according to the trainer, some of them might stole u all punya underwear,t-shirt, socks, etci didnt have any problem with my personal belongingsbut my friend's baju kelas get stolen by the othersjust remember to put ur belongings into the locker and keep the keys with u, never give ur key to ur friend(ever ur best friend)u cant trust people in NS, even he/she is ur best friend.

u keep in locker also can get curi wei. How hard is it to pick/break a small lock anyway?

yup... a stone will GG the lock so u must keep those important things with u(like camera,wallet,moneys, locker's keys etc)

yup... put the key in my pocket all the time, just bring the key with u all the timeyup.. but usually the things will be safe in the locker, unless somebody have ur locker's keythen dont worry abt the phone, because u can only have it on weekends, so just take care of it during weekendscamera u can put it into the locker when u're sleeping, lock the locker and put the key with uu can put it on ur "most sensitive part" so that if somebody try to take ur key, u will wake up

erm, at first i brought RM200+ to thereafter the CNY holiday, another RM200+i brought a pail,hanger, clips, etc(laundry,hygiene thingy)and of course, junk foodi and my friends bought junk food all the timeusually 2-3 times a weekweekends? saturday usually have nothing to do, just stay in dorm,sometimes need to gotong-royong or got some activities(ceramah,kempen derma darah, etc)sunday u can go to temple/church, and ur family can go to camp to visit uthe time for visit section is from 9am to 5pm(if u go to church/temple, u will leave the camp at 7.30am/8am, and go back to camp at 10am/11am(for church)/12noon/12.30pm(for temple)

just now you said a stone will GG the lock? I am afraid about this even If I lock my things inside the locker.

where do you all buy junkfood in weekdays?

yup..because my friend did it(he lost his key, then he used a stone to open the lock, but the lock is quite old+soft one, i'm not sure about the new+hard one, some camp they got the locker with integrated lock)but it's quite hard to do it because the people who want to stole ur things will GG ur lock by using a stone(perhaps other tools?) in front of the other people unless all people berpakat with him lahthen that's another storybesides, the trainer will noticed that if the locker was damaged, my friend's lock get replaced after he GG the old lock(of course kena marah by the trainer )so i dont think ur thing will get stolen if u keep it into the locker, and u can use a plastic bag/some clothes to cover ur thingsdont ever put ur things on the bed and u go to the other dorm/get out from the dormremember to lock the locker from time to time, dont leave it unlocked, even u're in the dormbe alert with the people, dont 100% trust them, even they are ur best friend. because who knows they might be the one who will stole ur things?

erm, we got a small kiosk in the camp(dont have many junk food as giant,jusco,etc)the junkfood/things/ice cream/drinks are expensive than the outside one(of course lah, they bought it from giant,jusco,etc, want untung juga mah )sometimes they got breadand the top selling item in the kiosk: maggi@instant noddles they sell the cup one and the pack one(i'm not sure with the bowl one)but the kiosk is available for certain time only(my camp is after 5pm until 12am for weekdays, weekends from 8am until night,sometimes they dont open one )

the day before i went out to buy all my things.(pail/big bottle of soap/etc etc)then that night i was facebooking until 3am coz i'll miss the internet..u.uthen the next morning went to Bukit Jalil by LRT with all my 2 luggages and a bucket.(look damn awkward on the train.u.u)once sampai at Bukit Jalil had to find my way to the kaunter.so so so many people there saying goodbye to their kids and all that.so crowded.check my name in the name list then went of to find the right bus.(careful not to get into the wrong bus)..my bus was the kapcai bas sekolah one..others all the nais plkn buses woo..

then on the bus the trainer will give you RM15..$_$..kire your welcoming gift lol..(i brought RM90 to plkn)then make fren with person beside me..then was trying very hard not to freak out and cry on the bus.TT.TT was sms-ing my family while waiting for bus to go..they were standing outside the bus waving all that..so sad ooo..u.u

then journey to Melaka was like 2 hours+.then once arrive they suddenly ask you to line up by race and all that.(dunno why).then have to check the name list.( my name wasn't there since i changed camps and they so pemalas wanna update the lists after i call HQ..so i was pening/blur/scared sh1tless..dala they din give me my letter yet..so must settle a lot of problems there)

then after filling up forms in the dewan they told us (kindly..we budak baru ma) to go eat lunch at the dewan makan..note that i had NO friends at ALL in camp..so i had to make friends with other people quite quickly..u.ui ate VERY little for lunch coz no appetite at all coz i was still freaking out about plkn lol..then after makan i had to drag my very2 heavy bags up a hill and find my dorm..my bags so darn heavy that i was pulled backwards while walking up the hill lol..then one person who got there a day earlier offered to help me.(bless her) then find my dorm and chose my bed.then make friends with dorm mate.

we didn't know what we were supposed to do so just sit down on the bed and sleep a bit( with no bed covers.u.u) after that go mandi a bit.then got out uniforms all that.and then must rush2 wear the uniform and go down to the hall for the briefing. they have head-count all that.

(dun really remember what happen at night actually..so blur2 that time..everything was happening so quickly..u.u)

How do they give Rm150 monthly to you? also give cash or through bank-in?

the beds in your dorm didn't have the bed covers 1? Or they had't prepared yet?
